【正文】 義是相反的。前面說“素食主義的流行似乎并沒有消退”，因此可推斷出后一句是反而會(huì)持續(xù)下去。故sticking意為”持續(xù)”，可知， lasting“持久的，持續(xù)的”符合題意，故選C。(4)考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述過去的十年里素食主義在英國(guó)增長(zhǎng)迅猛。這一增長(zhǎng)的主要力量是那些年齡在1534歲之間。素食主義在英國(guó)的年輕人中非常流行的原因可能是年輕人想要保護(hù)環(huán)境，社會(huì)媒體的參與也導(dǎo)致了素食者的增加。故選A。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 Amazing concept images have shown what homes of the future could look like, as preparations are made for the world39。s first free from 3Dprinted property (房產(chǎn)). Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal, which will be 3Dprinted offsite before being put together onsite to create two outside walls, a roof and an inside part. These four main sections will then be joined together. Although 3Dprinted buildings have been made before, this home to be constructed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, later this year — will be the first of its kind, as it will contain no regular shapes or angles. The house is the creation of the design pany WATG, based in London and California. The design for Curve Appeal draws inspiration from the Case Study House program. The architects leading the program were famed for constantly pushing the limits in terms of minimalist (極簡(jiǎn)主義) materials, and trying to create openplan spaces that focused on enhancing (增強(qiáng)) natural light. In a written statement, a spokesman for WATG said, “Employing many of the same modem design principles, Curve Appeal is the next evolutionary step. It39。s important that the architecture and the environment work together harmoniously. The chosen site is steps away from the Tennessee River in a beautiful wooded, sunlit area.” WATG was awarded the first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge in 2016 and given prize money of $ 8,000 to make its plans a reality. The petition was aimed at architects, designers, engineers and artists. Participants were challenged to design a 600 to 800sq ft singlefamily home that rethinks traditional aesthetics (美學(xué)), ergonomics, construction, building systems and structure. Over the last year, WATG39。s Chicago office has been developing their design with Branch Technology. This project is currently underway, working towards breaking ground later this year. Once pleted, the Curve Appeal home will have open and lightfilled inside living spaces.（1）From the passage we can know that Curve Apple .

The Crow39。s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds. Twentyseven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia. More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions. If they change the price of the fish tacos (魚肉卷餅) at the United States Open, it39。s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It39。s time to your editor using capital letters. The new retractable (可伸縮的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us dail
